Anniversary
Today I celebrate 16 year of marriage to my husband Pete. I find it hard to believe that time has passed so quickly. 17 years ago, we met in a basement pool hall in Raytown, Missouri. The first time I met him he made this comment "I am going to marry that gal".Pete, you are my best friend...and the longest job I have ever held. Our marriage has been work from the begining and we work well together. We have a wonderful and comfortable life together and have beautiful daughers to show for it.
My Crochet History
(Annie's Attic Pattern)
I would be dangerous if I had a little girl right now...I have come so far in my crochet abilities since Chelsie has been born.
I learned how to crochet about 15 years ago and started with one huge granny square blanket for my first project. My mother in law, Mary, finally taught me the patience to sit still and go for it.
Once upon a time, I only knew about granny squares, "H" hooks, and acrylic yarns. And reading patterns was out the window. Now I own at least 3 of each size hooks, I make up designs on my own, and I fart around with patterns. I can read basic stuff, but learning more and more each day thanks to my good friend Tamara the Crochet Queen.
Happy Birthday to my Mother in Law, Mary, tomorrow.
I love you.

My wants~ for today
First, I want to find purple bottles for my collection. I don't think I have one single purple glass... how YUMMY!
Second, I would like to find this pattern. I have been toying with the notion to start a colorful Granny Blanket...De'lish, Tasty!My Kind of Camping...
Blog surfing again today...thinking warm and happy thoughts on this very bitter and cold day. 9 degrees with a minus windchill.Well wrap yourself in this. I would love to get my hands on a VW so I could have my very own camper. This is so fun looking. It brings me back to childhood also. My bedroom was the windshield area of one of these vw's. It rested on top of the school bus with an opening and a ladder to our sleeping quarters. A loosely strung curtain separated me from my parents in our VW loft atop the blue school bus.
Wonder if I could get hubby to buy in on this idea. One day we will get one and renovate it to be our very own little camper and we can take weekend trips. He will drive while I crochet. We will stop at funky little shops and park at beautiful rests. I will photograph our excursions and he will rest.
That will all happen, One Day.

Granny Walls
*Not my work! But I ran across this picture in cyberland and of course had to share it. Maybe I will add a Granny Crochet room to my Bucket list. Now that sounds Warm and Snuggly!
